Oswegatchie Triple Combo (Advanced)

Sea Kayaking, Hiking and Canoeing all in one challenging trip. Brilliant!

New in 2004, this trip is a phenominal adventure for experienced paddlers. Two trips begin at either end of the route, swapping equipment in the middle. Trip A begins on the Oswegatchie river with two days of challenging canoeing through the most pristine, remote wilderness in the Adirondacks. After paddling 18 miles over a day and a half, Trip A leaves their canoes on the side of the river, break out the backpacks and hikes three miles to the shores of Lows Lake to meet up with Trip B. Trip A gets in the sea kayaks and completes the trip with a 12 mile paddle across Lows Lake, recently classified as powerboat free. Trip B starts with sea kayaks, goes to backpacks and finishes with canoes, obviously.

Long Lake (Beginner/Intermediate)

The ever-popular combination trips have been exploring the shores of Long Lake since the start of Adirondack Adventure. This mellow trip involves paddling or hiking the length of Long Lake, with two trips meeting at the far end and swapping equiment. The hiking section follows the legendary Northville/Placid trail for around 8 miles, enjoying beautiful views over the lake to the high peaks beyond.

Cranberry Lake (Beginner/Intermediate)

This route is renowned for the beauty of Cat Mountain and the abundance of blueberries and blackberries around the lakes. Both trips start and end in the 'small but perfectly-formed' town of Wanakena. The canoeing section takes place on Cranberry lake, camping on Joe Little island. The hiking trip includes a side trip up Cat Mountain for one of the best views in the Adirondacks, plus if time allows, both trips meet up at a secret, hidden 40 foot waterslide.
This year we are offering this trip in conjunction with Writing 110. See a full description of this exciting development here
